Reaches deal with MLB club
Yang signed a minor-league contract with MLB's Texas Rangers on Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Yang's interest from MLB teams this offseason was fairly muted, as one might expect from a 32-year-old coming off a mediocre 4.70 ERA in the KBO. Still, he seemed quite determined to give it a shot after trying and failing to make the jump to North America in the middle of the last decade, so he'll head to spring training with the Rangers hoping to win a spot at the back of the team's rotation. Should he fall short, it's not yet clear whether he'll be willing to endure the minor-league grind or if he'll pack his bags and return to Korea.
